A computer readable medium includes executable instructions to form a report; process trust values, where each trust value characterizes the accuracy of an attribute of the report; combine trust values to provide an aggregate trust value associated with the report; and supply a user with the report and the aggregate trust value.
摘要:
A computer readable medium storing executable instructions to deterministically construct a text question for application to a data source includes executable instructions to allow a user to specify a second language different than a first language used as organizational schema of a data source. Language rules are loaded for the second language. The language rules are used to translate an initial text question from the first language to the second language. A user is supplied with the initial text question in the second language. The user is allowed to alter a sentence component of the text question to form an altered sentence component. Executable instructions identify when the altered sentence component in combination with remaining sentence components creates an invalid question and supplies sentence components to insure selection of a valid question. A data source query is constructed from the initial text question and at least one altered sentence component. The data source query is applied to the data source to produce data results, which are presented to the user.

A method of stiffening a rib (19, 20) during the assembly of an aircraft wing is described. A stiffener panel (40, 41) is attached to a face of the rib (19, 20). The rib is aligned with one or more wing components with the stiffener panel (40, 41) attached. An assembly operation such as drilling (16) is performed with the rib aligned and the stiffener panel attached. The stiffener panel (40, 41) is removed from the rib after the assembly operation. The stiffener panel has a resilient external sealing ring which is mounted on a face of the panel and forms an external perimeter of a vacuum cavity; and at least one resilient internal sealing ring which is mounted on the panel (20, 21) within the perimeter defined by the external sealing ring and forms an internal perimeter of the vacuum cavity. The stiffener can be attached to the rib by a vacuum clamping force, the vacuum being sealed by the external and internal sealing rings. The internal sealing ring(s) seal any holes which are present in the rib. The stiffener (40, 41) can support the rib (20, 21) during alignment to give it the required flatness.

An active air cleaning controller is connected to a forced air heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. The active air cleaning controller uses call signals from a thermostat to the HVAC system and/or sensor signals to determine when, and for how long, the blower of the HVAC system has been active and whether to independently activate the blower. The active air cleaning controller uses at least the collected information regarding the blower run time to determine when to activate the blower, in addition to its use within the HVAC system, to cycle and thus clean the air in a living environment independently of call signals used to activate heating and/or cooling functions of the HVAC system.

An aircraft wiring installation connecting a set of fuel side wires in an aircraft fuel tank to a set of airside wires outside the fuel tank, the installation comprising: a connector box having a fuel side wall (22) and an airside wall (21); one or more connectors (40, 43) carried by the fuel side wall (22) which connect the fuel side wires to the airside wires; a fairing (6) partially covering the airside wall (21); and one or more holes (30) in the airside wall through which the airside wires pass from the connector box into the fairing (6).
摘要:
The invention relates to artificial modified proteins, preferably fusion proteins, having a reduced immunogenicity compared to the parent non-modified molecule when exposed to a species in vivo. The invention relates, above all, to novel immunoglobulin fusion proteins which essentially consist of an immunoglobulin molecule or a fragment thereof covalently fused via its C-terminus to the N-terminus of a biologically active non-immunoglobulin molecule, preferably a polypeptide or protein or a biologically active fragment thereof. In a specific embodiment, the invention relates to fusion proteins consisting of an Fc portion of an antibody which is fused as mentioned to the non-immunological target molecule which elicits biological or pharmacological efficacy. The molecules of the invention have amino acid sequences which are altered in one or more amino acid residue positions but have in principal the same biological activity as compared with the non-altered molecules. The changes are made in regions of the molecules which are identified as T-cell epitopes, which contribute to an immune reaction in a living host. Thus, the invention also relates to a novel method of making such fusion proteins by identifying said epitopes comprising calculation of T-cell epitope values for MHC Class II molecule binding sites in a peptide by computer-aided methods.

A communication terminal having a display; a keypad having a plurality of keys associated with several letters each; a processor for controlling the display in accordance with the operation of the keypad; a selectable predictive editor program for generating an output containing words matching a received string of ambiguous key strokes, the predictive editor program has a number of associated vocabularies including at least one language dependent dictionary and at least one dictionary receiving user defined inputs. An editor application is controlled by the processor which communicates with said predictive editor programs for generating matching words based on an ambiguous string of key strokes. A second memory of the communication terminal for storing user inputted data. The processor automatically searches the second memory for words and copies these words into the dictionary for receiving user defined inputs associated with said predictive editor program.

The invention relates to a method for the transmission of messages by using a message service to a recipient who uses at least a primary mobile station (3), in which there is at least the possibility to receive calls and messages, and at least one secondary mobile station (4, 4′), in which there is at least the possibility to receive messages. The messages addressed to the primary mobile station (3) can be directed to any of the secondary mobile stations (4, 4′) of the recipient, irrespective of calls.
